(... so maybe this is the) General Discussion Thread

[Loindici]

Well, I can't find the 2024 general discussion thread yet. I'm providing a thread to house it before mods will make one.

You may discuss anything related to the 2024 contest in general.

EDIT: Welp, I guess it has manifested into one. Let's go guys!

Jimmy Joker has written 2599 of the 2624 songs

They probably just listen to the same few songwriters that always enter MF and then bin the rest

The way this isn't even that much of an exaggeration

Here are the rules of ESC 2024. Most of the rules remain unchanged.

Another year where the tele-vote solely decides the qualifiers from each semi.

Would've liked some 33/66 system but yeah that's alright

Shame that we keep the 50/50 in final tho

The ROW vote is back, I think it proved to be a success this past season

Rumor is there could be 41 countries in for 2024. It would mean could surprisingly return or we see a debut I think of or

a possibility too perhaps?

No way we're getting 41 countries back when we face a war in Europe and having to face rising costs for the participation fees... some broadcaster are already struggling and they haven't even announced their participation yet.

If 41 countries take part, we will have to applaud the EBU for convincing so many broadcasters in the end Oo.

should stay away from the competition.
is the only exception I'd like to tolerate, tbh.

would be a strange move after they withdrew from JESC and stopped broadcasting Eurovision after doing so for more than decades...

 

[randajad]

So according to wikipedia, we have 35 countries so far with Andorra, Bosnia, Monaco and Slovakia being officially out and Australia, Armenia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Turkey unmarked. Any of those participating combos again would be awesome.

35 (+ Australia, Romania, Armenia)
+ Scotland
+ Wales
+ Faroe Islands

I assure you that will stay away from ESC due to lack of interest by the general American public. In fact, Peacock, the NBC-owned streaming service, did not publicize its coverage of ESC within the US. Also, due to the geoblocking of the more recent live ESC performances, I don't see the popularity of Eurovision growing in the US beyond the competition's small but devoted following.

 

[macmillanandwife]

Don't worry, will not be participating. The EBU is not THAT desperate. would have a better possibility of participating than us, lol.

My choice is . They gotta boost tourism somehow.
